Another good day

Cross your fingers, it's almost Friday and so far Madalyn is on track for treasure box day. It's crazy how much 5 days of smiley face stickers make me happy. Oops, they only had school 3 days this week, no wonder! But nonetheless, maybe she will get treasure box.

We had an easy going night, and even corrected her math test, and re-wrote her homework to correct the letters to match the example sheet. She sometimes makes capital letters lowercase by just making them smaller, which isn't the way it's supposed to be done. No meltdowns! Good concentration! I'm starting to think I might actually survive the next 12 years of her education career:)

She did get treasure box!!! And it's funny because when she doesn't, she always acts like it doesn't bother her. But you know, when all the other kids get to pick out a treat, and she doesn't, it has to sting. She had the biggest grin on her face when she showed me the Berenstein Bears book she picked out. Later that night, she hugged me tight, and said, "mom, are you so proud of me for getting treasure box?"...YES!
